Indy Trail fuel pump leak

[SledTL]

So this past weekend I discovered that our 98 Indy Trail is leaking from the bottom portion of the fuel pump. It seems like its leaking from the gasket. Is it possible to rebuild the fuel pump, is it a headache, or should I just purchase a new one to give it another 10 years of use? I thought I had read in the past on here that people had the same issue. It was leaking pretty good by the way and made a mess in the garage.

Yes they can be rebuilt easy to do and cheap.

very easy, did one on a 2000 indy 500 this winter, $10-15 I think it
my pump wasnt the problem though, a needle stuck in carb and the case filled with fuel when I tried to start it, I even dumped it out of the exhaust!

This wasn't quite as bad as that, but I could see it slowly dropping out of the bottom. I'll look into it now, thanks!
